8th District Tournament to be held in Ely

Ely's Veterans Memorial Field will be the site of this summer's Eighth District Division II Legion Baseball Tournament.

The schedule was finalized at last weekend's district baseball meeting in Duluth.

Dates are set for Tuesday July 24 with opening round games, followed by a two-day break and the tournament resuming on Friday July 27 and continuing Saturday July 28.

The district championship game will take place Sunday July 29 at 1:30 p.m., with the winner moving on the state tournament the following week at Sacred Heart. Ely has won the district title the last two seasons and three of the last four years.
